This was a commission, and I’m posting these pictures today, although they were taken a few days ago, because I can’t post a spoilier on an apron commission until my patron has received it. I made it for my eGullet buddy sparrowgrass, who gardens and keeps chickens — she once sent me a dozen of her hen’s eggs and they are the Platonic Ideal of eggs.

Not a great snap, but it’s Lou at his most winsome. The fabric: I wish I’d bought more. I love it.The reverse is about autumn veg:

Oooh, Maggie, the chickens gave me an idea for another apron I want. Could you find roosters? My stepmom collects rooster stuff and my dad is a golf nut. I’m thinking that would make a good Christmas gift. Also – might you be able to find teapot fabric? If so, I’d love a teapot side/golf side one for my in laws. Step-MIL collects teapots. Regular MIL collects hot air balloon stuff and loves clowns. If you could find both of those fabrics, I’d love a two sided one with those, too.

That’s 3 aprons. I can see that you are going to be my new indulgence!

I did send you an email, but I should also have said here that I got the two aprons that I ordered for wedding gifts and they are gorgeous, impeccably tailored, hilarious (in one case) and so, so apt! You can show ’em off here now, girl!
